Waffles All Year Round
This must sound odd but we do celebrate Waffle Day here in Sweden. It’s a celebration that I get accustomed to since hubby and I bought a waffle-maker, lol! Home-made waffles are better than those at the cafés or restaurants. The celebration has something to do with the Annunciation (when Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would bear the Son of God). But it was not a Waffle Day in the beginning. It was called Vårfrudagen (Our Lady’s Day) which later sounded like Våffeldagen (Waffle Day), thus eating waffles on this day begun.
Waffle Day, 25th March
I did not make the waffles above although I was home that day. I don’t think I could manage since I was walking with crutches then. But I thanked hubby’s friends who were so thoughtful and kind to buy us this special waffles. Decorated with a flag, a chocolate and a strawberry, it made me feel so…..Swedish. Hahaa!
Even if it’s a special day for waffles and almost the whole population eat waffles on this day, it is however available all year round at any cafés and restaurants. I remember the first time I ate it at a café in town with hubby. I thought it looked strange as it was not the same waffle I used to have in the Philippines, the one which had either a cheese or a hotdog filling.
Yummy! looks delicious… hmmmm… makapag waffles nga for breakfast… masarap yung home made then lots of butter and cheese…. top it with maple syrup… pwede na!

Di ko pa na-try ang syrup sa waffles pero sa pancake lang. Butter and cheese would be nice but it’s not common here. Whipped cream or ice cream ang malakas dito, hehee.
Sana makatikim din ako ng ganyang klase ng waffles. Mukhang masarap talaga eh. Yum yum!!

You don’t need to come here. You can make it if you have a waffle maker.
Oh! I didn’t know it is related to Jesus? This is interesting. But I love eating waffle. I always buy it here and request them to spread butter and peanuts on it.
It incidentally become related. Peanuts? I should try it one day.

Aww! Meron naman yata ito diyan.
I do love waffes too. Here in Manila, when I was still a commuter, I used to by at least two waffles in different flavors from Waffle Time.

Talaga? May iba-ibang flavors pala waffles sa atin?
Yup yup. Actually, yung fillings lang ang iba iba. Pero yung waffle mismo, isa lang. Ang uso kasi dito is yung waffle hotdogs diba pero naging mas creative sila. Instead of hotdog ang fiilings, they used franks, chese, bavarian and even fruits. There’s another food cart that sells fruit waffles.

Maraming flavors or fillings, may chocolate, hotdog, tuna salad, cheese, chicken, bavarian, mango, etc… pero yung mga waffles naman na yun eh yung hotdog shape? Fave ni Sean yan lagi syang nagpapabili.

Are we thinking the same waffles? Hehee.
Yes, it tastes good and I love that whipped cream toppings.
Are waffles from different countries taste differently? I haven’t tried any except the one sold here in the Philippines.
